The 23rd Annual Rural Entrepreneurship Conference

The 23rd Annual Rural Entrepreneurship Conference will have a strong focus on the relationship between entrepreneurs and the places in which they live and work. Papers are welcome on a number of themes, but throughout the week, we encourage delegates to reflect on the dynamic relationships between businesses and rural places with questions such as: To what extend does a rural place provide an advantage or a disadvantage? Is the rural context important for the supply-side or the demand-side of the business? And perhaps most fundamentally, to what extent does entrepreneurial activity shape rural places rather than being shaped by the characteristics of the rural entrepreneurial ecosystem?
